leave a comment »

The new Horror Anthology featuring Mary O’Neil, Douglas Vermeeren, Rib Hills, Clarke Wolfe, Myles Cranford, Tara Erickson, Ivan Djurovic, Wayne Sanchez, Miranda Cover and others has just premiered at the LA FILM FESTIVAL. The film premiered to a sold out audience and the reviews were wonderful. The film film featured the interpretation of several directors – each one taking on a particular story within the Anthology.

The film features everything from the startling stories of the strange, haunting and gruesome to situations that are downright comical. The LA Film Festival awarded the film with BEST HORROR ANTHOLOGY. Written by Mary O’neil, Buz Wallick and Sean Mesler the film seems to break many of the conventional rules of an anthology like Creepshow, Twilight Zone the movie, Stephen King’s Cat’s Eye or others. Rather than having a narrator or host introduce each segments there is actually an intriguing story that holds the narrative together.

Douglas Vermeeren as Sheriff Bellamy on FRESH MEAT

Douglas Vermeeren as Sheriff Bellamy on Daniel Turns’ Horror Masterpiece FRESH MEAT

Douglas Vermeeren is excited to be portraying Sherriff Bellamy on the upcoming horror movie FRESH MEAT by writer/director Daniel Turres. While many of the details of this production are still under wraps there are a few things that can be said about this upcoming horror epic.

HI: What can you tell us about the Sheriff form the film?

Douglas Vermeeren: He’s not your typical horror movie sheriff.

HI: What do you mean by that?

Douglas Vermeeren: I think there have been a lot of great sheriffs and cops in horror movies over the years. But I think Sheriff Bellamy really doesn’t care about people. At least not those in real danger. He doesn’t like people. He’s not nice and he just wants things to stay quiet. He has one principle goal and that is to contain what gets discovered int he abandoned prison. I think other horror cops probably are more compassionate. (Laughs)

HI: How did you get the role of Sheriff Bellamy?

Douglas Vermeeren: I met Daniel (Turres) at the Cannes Film Festival in France last year. He and I hit it off right away. He is really a great guy. We have a lot in common. We talked about the script and he offered me the role. It definitely looked like it was going to be fun so I accepted. The rest is history.

HI: What was you favourite part about portraying the Sheriff and what was your hardest part?

Douglas Vermeeren: Those are both difficult questions to answer without giving away important plot points from the film. I think that one of my favourite parts that I might be able to share are just some of lines that the Sheriff has. It was well written and super memorable. I think Sheriff Bellamy has such a unique flavour all to his own. And I love the accent he has. He’s a charming old cuss. And the most difficult part??? Well, you’ll have to see the end of the movie for that.

HI: Is it true that they used make up to age you?

Douglas Vermeeren: Yes, they added around 10 years in make up. The Sheriff was also supposed to be an older gentleman with more wisdom than the others. Again I can’t tell too much but the become of his position and age the Sheriff is supposed to be a character that the others can trust.

HI: So what’s next for you after FRESH MEAT?

Douglas Vermeeren: Right after FRESH MEAT I am heading down to Arizona to portray the bad guy Hank Winslow in Cynthia Rothrock’s new western action film BLACK CREEK. My first day on set is October 30.

HI: Good luck and we wish you the best. We look forward to following FRESH MEAT and seeing it when it comes out. Thank you.
